Type-Moon, but the Gal Romance System

Page 62

After setting up a barrier to isolate the fluctuations, Mochizuki Oboro and Sajou Aika went to the basement together to prepare for the summoning of the Servant.

Although there are still seven days until the Holy Grail War begins, considering factors such as the handling of the master-servant relationship and the arrangement of tactics, it is not too early to summon now.

Sajou Aika first prepared a summoning circle for Mochizuki Oboro, while she quietly stood aside and watched.

"Its foundation is silver and iron. Its base is stone and the great covenant of contracts."

The summoning circle began to operate, emitting a faint light.

“Build a wall before the descending wind. Close the four gates. Emerge from the crown.”

The light gradually intensified, and the materialized wind pressure spread out in all directions from the center of the summoning circle.

Mochizuki Oboro chanted a few more incantations, but the oppressive feeling that followed was so strong as to be eerily powerful that neither he nor Sajou Aika could open their eyes.

If it weren't for setting up several layers of barriers as a precaution, the news would probably have been leaked before the battle even started.

"Declaration——"

The wind pressure reaches its peak at this moment.

"Your body rests beneath mine, my fate is tied to your sword."

The light stopped. This was undoubtedly a sign that the summoning circle had malfunctioned.

Sajou Aika looked bewildered; she thought that setting up a summoning circle was such a basic thing that she shouldn't have made any mistakes.

Despite this, Mochizuki Oboro could still feel the connection with the unknown Servant and continued chanting: "As if following the destiny of the Holy Grail. Those who obey this will and this principle, respond!"

The previously dazzling white light instantly turned into a deep purplish-black color, filled with an ominous premonition.

But it only lasted for a brief moment before the purplish-black light returned to pure white.

Sajou Aika calmed down a bit and continued to observe the summoning ritual.

As the final incantation ended, the figure in the center gradually solidified.

Her slender figure inexplicably ignited a surge of anger within Ayaka Sajou.

"Servant, class is Assassin. She's like a goddess of love. If you, Master, have any troubles in love, feel free to confide in me anytime."

The assassin revealed a smile that could melt away all reason: "Of course, Master is also welcome to throw himself into my arms and seek the right and commendable depravity."

Mochizuki remained unmoved: "What is your real name?"

The assassin was astonished to find that his target had not been charmed.

"Give me your real name, Assassin," Aika Sajou urged impatiently.

"Kama. That's all you need to call me."

As the Master who summons Kama, Mochizuki Oboro can clearly see all of her stats.

Strength C, Endurance EX, Agility A, Magic EX, Luck B, Noble Phantasm EX – aside from the normal Strength stat, all stats are excellent, making it almost too luxurious for an Assassin.

However, Aika Sajou didn't like Kama very much.

The main reason lies in her body shape.

"You try to seduce your Master right from the start? Is there any Servant like you?" Ayaka Sajou said with a displeased expression.

"That's just who I am, please forgive me, kind-hearted lady." Kama said magnanimously, "You can pray to me for your love fortune. As the god of love, I can certainly help with this."

"The meet-and-greet will be held later. Let's summon the next Servant first."

Mochizuki Oboro mediated the conflict: "Kamaya, come to my side and observe first."

Since the Master had spoken, Kama had no choice but to back down, giving Sajou Ayaka's steel plate a rather provocative look.

Sajou Aika took her position, trying not to think about the annoying Kama, and began reciting the summoning incantation.

This time, there was no power outage or black screen issue, and the system was successfully summoned.

As the wind pressure dissipated, the figure gradually became visible.

The skills "Charm of the Roots (D)" and "Floral Splendor (B)" are now active.

The blonde, blue-eyed girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at Mochizuki Oboro.

"Tell me, are you my Master?"

Mochizuki Oboro pointed at Sajou Aika: "It's this one."

That is truly rude.

Artoria coughed a few times guiltily, no longer in the mood to strike another pose: "Please forgive me, Master."

"It's alright. Your understanding is correct, Saber."

Sajō Aika affectionately took Mochizuki Oboro's arm: "Your Master is me, and my Master is him."

Chapter 78 The Ever-Abnormal War of the Broken Cup

It's not surprising that participants would employ any strategy to gain the right to make a wish; alliances like those between Mochizuki Oboro and Sajou Aika are a common type.

Describing them as allies is inaccurate—after all, Mochizuki Oboro and Sajou Aika can be considered as one group in fact.

Judging from the Servants drawn so far, there is almost no possibility of losing.

Saber, whose real name is Artoria Pendragon, possesses overwhelming stats and Noble Phantasm.

"Excalibur" is enough to destroy most resistance in a head-on confrontation, while "Utopia" is the highest-level defensive Noble Phantasm, capable of healing the wielder's injuries and halting aging. If its true name is released, it will split into hundreds of pieces to protect the wielder from any interference.

Sajou Aika finds it hard to imagine anyone being able to defeat her Saber head-on.

Assassin Kama is the goddess of love. She wields a bow and arrows capable of making people fall in love, and her stats are not much inferior to Artoria's. She is skilled in both assassination and direct combat.

With the magical power supplied by Mochizuki Oboro, he can even transform into Archer to provide firepower suppression, making up for the weakness of not having ranged attack methods.

That night, after the Servant was summoned, at the Sajō family residence.

The Lion King of Britain reigns supreme at the table, having already devoured ten bowls of rice, forty dumplings, a roast chicken, and five large plates of dishes to accompany the meal.

Servants can obtain magical energy from food, partially compensating for the lack of magical energy supplied by their Masters. But Artoria's situation is completely different: she simply eats a lot.

After finishing her meal, Artoria pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, her ahoge (a stray hair on her head) sticking up high because of her happy mood.

“Let’s summarize,” Kama said. “Saber obeys her Master’s orders, and Sajou, as her Master, unconditionally obeys her Master’s orders, so we can basically be locked into a combination.”

Sajou Aika smiled and affirmed, "Saber, you may disobey me, but you must listen to the prince."

Artoria did not refuse: "I will obey as long as the order does not violate the principles in my heart."

Do not kill the innocent indiscriminately, do not destroy at will, and achieve victory through fair and square means.

Although it clashes with the ruthless atmosphere of the Holy Grail War, this is indeed Artoria's code of conduct.

After speaking, Artoria looked at Mochizuki Oboro: "What wishes do you have placed upon the Holy Grail?"

"No."

Mochizuki Oboro explained her motives to the two Servants again.

"In short, no matter the outcome, all you want is 'beauty'," Kama concluded.

……

In Fuyuki City, the oak tree is in the tomb of six ⑷ 6 ridges.

Winter nights are especially cold, and even in the city center where there is a bit more foot traffic, pedestrians will be bundled up in thick clothes.

Eri exhaled a puff of white mist and pushed open the door of the cafe.

The indoor heating and the aroma of coffee blend together, creating a warm feeling that comes from the bottom of one's heart.

After Eri finished ordering and sat down, the girl opposite her finally spoke.

"I'm three minutes late."

"At this hour, it's good enough if anyone comes out when we call for help." Eri reached out her hands, feeling the warmth emanating from the cup.

[Shan] 4 Neighbor-7? Two ④ Scar Temple? y/u*~〃e-: Reines took off her gloves, revealing a bright red Command Seal: "I won't go into the details, but when the Holy Grail War officially begins, we will be enemies."

"Oh." Erise said expressionlessly, "You just participated because you thought it would be fun?"

"More or less." Reines put her gloves back on. "Where is your servant?"

"I'll return those words to you verbatim." Eri looked around, but didn't sense any Servant's presence.

Is it Assassin? Or is he really not nearby?

Reines's purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was not to make a wish. She simply wanted to witness the mystery of "Servants" and "Noble Phantasms," which are difficult to reproduce in modern magic.

The outcome is the least important thing. If any Servant leaves the field, Reines will immediately withdraw from the competition and go home.

"What is your wish?" Lennies cut a small piece of cake and elegantly put it into her mouth.

Eri said somewhat helplessly, "No. I was just passing by when the Holy Grail gave me a Command Seal."

When Erise heard that her brother, Mochizuki Oboro, had come to Fuyuki, her initial purpose was just to take a look around, but who knew she would end up participating in the competition.

Although she had plans to form an alliance, Eri Se did not intend to take the initiative to approach them.

Her Servants aren't particularly strong; they can be more effective by taking them by surprise.

"There's no need for us to fight to the death. Let's sign a contract: if one person's servant leaves the field, the other person will have to provide protection and send them out of Fuyuki."

Reines took out the scroll: "How is it?"

Even if they're just friends, Eri wouldn't refuse this request.

Moreover, for her, this contract also provides a way out.

Eri took the scroll and asked casually, "Is your Servant an Assassin? Or Lancer or Archer?"

"Maybe it's Ruler," Reines said noncommittally.

Not far away, in the city center of Fuyuki.

The basement level is a food street, and also the promised land of a certain wild boar.

Teppanyaki, fried noodles, takoyaki... it's hard to resist steaming hot food.

Castor felt so cold.

"Thank you." Ash snatched the fried noodles from Castor's hand without saying a word, and then ate them himself.

"I am the Master!" the enraged boar princess retorted. "You've been stealing my food from my hands for all sorts of reasons since an hour ago!"

Ash didn't take it seriously: "The ones in other people's hands will taste better."

The others who participated in the Holy Grail War, if not particularly well-trained, had at least undergone some preparation.

But just two days ago, Custer was a high school student who knew nothing about it.

Without any preparation, she hadn't even properly recited a single incantation when the summoning circle in the basement lit up on its own.

Then this guy who looks exactly like me pops up, claiming to be Caster's Servant.

After acting as a science communicator, Ash used magic to eliminate his Servant aura and completely disguised Caster as an ordinary person, saying that a magician needs to develop slowly first.

"This is the last one. If you dare to steal my food again, you'll be eating a Command Spell," Caster threatened angrily, then turned and walked towards the teppanyaki stall.

This time, Chen did not continue to snatch, but instead frowned slightly, as if sensing some kind of aura.

The brainless boar princess naturally didn't care about any of this. Fearing that Caster would rebel again, she finished her teppanyaki at lightning speed before returning to Ash's side, completely satisfied.

"It's Rider's scent, but it's very faint."

Strange, it's like an aura being concealed. Does Rider know how to do this?

……

under night.

Medusa stood up and turned to look at her Master: "This side is all set up too."

“Okay. Let’s go to the next location then.” Medea (Lily) said confidently, “Unless it’s a magician of my caliber, or even above me, they won’t be able to detect your presence.”

As an ultimate genius-level magician, Medea used a little trick when summoning Servants.

"Double Summoning" is a rare trait possessed by only a very small number of Servants, and it also has some limitations: the Three Knights and the EX class are not eligible for Double Summoning.

In other words, the combinations can only be made from cavalry, magicians, assassins, and berserkers.

However, there are no absolutely unbreakable taboos in the world of magic.
